Whooh! I got a flu shot. A seasonal one, but still. That's one down, one to go. I'm going to be persistent and stubborn and I am determined to get one. Oh, "one" being the H1N1 vaccine. Both sisters got that one and the seasonal flu one (which is the one Mum and I got today) at their doctors' office, a fact I shed actual tears over because this has stressed me out so much.
I'm not a person who is going to blame a vaccine if I still get sick, or if it does something that is supposedly caused by the vaccine. Supposedly (some) vaccines aren't considered safe, at least by some people's opinions, but I myself feel that if There is a vaccine for something and it's recommended by the Health Department and your doctor you should get it. Chemicals, side effects, oh just shut up.
Mum and I got up early and left at 9:20 to head down to the place in Lowell where they were having a flu shot clinic. We got there, there wasn't really a line, we got paperwork to fill out and numbers and maybe 15 seconds after handing the paperwork back in numbers 11 and 12 were next. A very nice woman named Kathy gave me my shot and she commented on how far we had had to come just to find a shot. Yeah it's rough. But whatever I got it! When we left there was a line that had formed and I was very glad we had gotten there early. I was worried we'd be outside on the sidewalk in a line.
After we went to a bunch of errands of Mum's in Lowell and at the last stop I was able to drive home, through Lowell. And it wasn't a nice quiet part of Lowell. Nope, I was near the highway, the train station, I was almost in Billerica at the last stop we went to. It went well, I felt comfortable driving. Much to my relief. The last time I felt rusty behind the wheel because I haven't been able to drive as often as I would like.
Today, after school, this afternoon at some point, Matt is coming over. We have a plan to watch part two of the series finale of Monk. I'm very excited, I really enjoyed the last two episodes and the second one, I solved EVERYTHING before everyone else did and there is a part at the end that was just so ironic and amusing. I dare not say more because Matt reads my blog and I have no guarntee he won't read it before tonight :)
I am going to clean the bathroom after I finish this post. I've been able to do chores yesterday and now today and that makes me happy because it means my head hasn't been sunk into a bucket of cement, too heavy and weighted down to do anything.
I'm wearing my Santa hat today. I like it very much. It was a present from Kellysha when I was dating James. That was so long ago. Christmas of 2005. I was 15. I got my braces off December 15th. Best Christmas present that year. The hat has special memories of when I adored Kellysha and was crazy about James. Now I have no relationship with Kellysha and James is one of my nearest and dearest and best friends forever.
Well I gotta run. Chores to do.
Note to self: want to blog about "bucket list" and moods. Not sure if there is anything else.
